Israeli occupation gunfire targets farmers in Gaza

Arab Newsfeature

The Israeli occupation forces on Saturday opened fire at Palestinian farmers working in their lands east of the city of Khan Younis, in the south of Gaza Strip, WAFA News Agency reported.

The agency said that the shooting forced the farmers to stop work and leave their lands to avoid being injured or killed.

Opening fire at Gaza farmers working in their lands is an almost daily incident. Often, the Israeli occupation forces infiltrate into Gaza with their heavy machinery and raze swathes of land inside the besieged strip.

About 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza continue to suffer from the Israeli blockade which has been imposed since 2006. According to most recent reports presented by Palestinian legal institutions, the blockade caused crises in all walks of life in Gaza.
